TechCrunch explains that to pay with Walmart Pay, a user must open the Walmart app, select “Walmart Pay,” scan a QR code displayed on the checkout terminal, and then wait for an employee to continue scanning items. Apple Pay, in contrast, opens automatically on an iPhone and requires a fingerprint to authorise the payment.

Walmart has over 140 million customers who shop weekly, according to the company’s CEO of global e-commerce Neil Ashe. “Walmart Pay is the latest example of how we are transforming the shopping experience by seamlessly connecting online, mobile and stores,” he said in a press release.
